Description: Thallus crustose, continuous or cracked, whitish to grey, smooth, epruinose, sometimes delimited by a white prothallus. Apothecia lecanorine, round to angular, sessile, rarely crowded, 0.2-1 mm across, with an orange-brown to flesh-coloured, but heavily white-pruinose, flat to slightly convex disc, and a rather thick, persistent, prominent, usually flexuose thalline margin. Thalline exciple with a loose, hydrophobic pseudocortex (the hyphae of the medulla almost reaching the margin) containing crystals which are not readily soluble in K; proper exciple thin, colourless, filled with crystals; epithecium greenish grey to almost colourless, with numerous crystals, K+ green; hymenium colourless 50-80 µm high; paraphyses slightly thickened at apex (up to 2.5 µm); hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, elongate-clavate, very thin-walled, with a K/I+ blue, tall tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, simple, broadly ellipsoid, 10-14(-15) x 5.5-8.5 µm, the wall <1 µm thick. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K+ yellow, C-, KC-; disc of apothecia (pruina) C+ bright lemon yellow; margin of apothecia P+ pale yellow. Chemistry: thallus with atranorin (major), chloroatranorin and eugenitol (minor); apothecia with sordidone (major).
Note: a mainly cool-temperate early coloniser on the smooth bark of young trunks and branches (especially of Fagus and Betula) which, however, is able to persist on ancient trees as well, with optimum in beech forests, where it is locally common and sometimes even abundant, especially in humid areas. See also note on G. subcarpinea.
